Tia run her hands lovingly through Cody’s hair as a tear dropped from her eye.“Dear sir please wake up, you’ve been lying here for 2 and half months, that’s so unlike you” she sniffed and wiped her tears.“I told God to help you wake up, I pray for you everyday, Mr. Whyte please wake up for me”She took his hand and kissed it and then looked at his face, his eyes slowly opened and met hers. Her mouth dropped open in surprise. “Master Cody you’re awake!” She exclaimed and tried to ring the bell for a doctor but Cody tightened his grip on her hand.She stared at him confused “don’t you want me to get you a doctor?” She asked with concern.Cody shook his head in response before closing his eyes again. Rosa was on night duty and was loafing around the accident and emergency ward when she heard that Cody’s condition was becoming stable. She had persuaded the head of that ward to assign her to Cody but her request had still not been granted. She wanted to be there the very moment he ope
Seth judging from Dr. Colbert’s hesitance figured he’d have to keep him busy. He informed the Whytes about Cody’s condition and told them to see Dr. Colbert.While Mr and Mrs. Whyte occupied Mr. Colbert’s time. Seth conveyed his message to Rosa. Super excited about her night duty she went straight home to get some rest and prepare for the night. At 10pm on the dot Rosa arrived at the ward and introduced herself to Tia and Cara who were in Cody’s ward.“My name is Rosa, I’ll be attending to Mr. Whyte from time to time, feel free to call me if you notice anything unusual or if you need any assistance” “Well noted” Cara responded with a smile. She smiled back and left the ward, as soon as she left Tia turned to Cara angrily.“What is Mr. Coleman up to? I told him that lady was suspicious and he allowed her to attend to the master” Tia complained.“Really?” Cara asked inquisitively.“Yes, last night she sneaked in and mocked the master” Tia said.“She did what? I need to see Seth” s
Back at Eileen’s penthouse she partied and shared wine with Robin and Benjy while Eileen kept to non-alcoholic wine the rest drunk to their fill. They made toasts and dined. Robin’s phone beeped and beeped, yet he was too busy partying to even notice.“I was so scared at a certain point, I thought you’d go to jail” Eileen confessed.“Lawyer MacCauly is the best lawyer in town, ask Benjy he’ll tell you, he could even help you get away with murder” Robin bragged.“Ah really?” Eileen remarked as an evil smile spread across her lips. “So if I break into a house and steal a painting he can help me get away with burglary?” “Oh God not the painting again” Benjy cried.“You thought I was going to let it go? Benjy you should know me” Eileen laughed. “I like you miss Aikens, there’s nothing more sexy than a woman who goes after what she wants” Robin complimented her and she instantly felt flattered. She smiled sheepishly.“Robin you do know how to flatter a woman, your cousin has a lot to le
At the conference hall Rosa was called to give an explanation for her actions, all she did was lie and lie, Dr. Colbert who had slowly recovered from the incident just sat there shaking his head. There was nothing he could do to save her even if he tried. She had dared harm the son of the hospital’s biggest shareholder. What the hell was she thinking? Being the head of the department he felt responsible for the actions and inactions of those assigned to him. To make matters worse she was lying to people who had studied psychology, psychiatry and all the things that had to do with the human mind. He buried his head in shame. It was decided that Rosa was guilty of intentionally causing harm to a patient and also being involved intimately with a patient, since it was against hospital rules to date patients and Cody had come for a check up with his wife when Rosa met him and got involved with him. She was stripped of her license to ever practice in the medical field again.She changed in
Nina made for the office with her protruding tummy leading the way. She stepped into her father’s office and sat down panting heavily.“Nina, why are you here?” Her dad asked when she sat down. He was concerned about her because she had started to fall sick again during the sixth month of the pregnancy and had been asked to rest again. “Dad, I came to request for a long leave, this is my letter” she said placing her letter on the desk.“But couldn’t we have discussed that at home? You could’ve have just called me, instead of putting yourself at risk” Mr. Story lamented. “There was nothing risky about getting here dad, I came from the hospital and decided to pass by and seek permission properly, the doctors think it’s time to allow Cody come home, Cody’s mum thinks he should come to their home but I think we should just go back to our house” Nina said. Mr. Story frowned.“But honey, you’re also not well you can’t take care of him either” he protested.“We’re bringing in a caretaker
Eileen was almost asleep when a call startled her. She grudgingly answered the call.“Open the door” a familiar voice shouted at her from the other end of the line. She quickly went to open the door and Robin stormed in. She gulped and closed the door.“I see you’re in here enjoying you sleep peacefully, while my sister lies in a hospital undergoing another surgery, do you know how much pain she’s in at the moment? Can you give a good reason why I shouldn’t kill you right now?” Robin yelled.Eileen gulped in fear, she was alone at home if he killed her he could easily get away with it.“Can you give me a good reason not to kill you?” He barked again.“I’m not the enemy… if you kill me the one who really did this will get away with it” her voice quivered.“Isn’t this your fault? Weren’t you the one who asked me to own up for an accident I didn’t cause?” Robin yelled.“I did it to protect your cousin… I was mostly concerned about him, he crashed into the car of a powerful person’s son
Seth came in and took a look at Cody examining his mood, earlier when the nurse put him in a wheelchair he wasn’t reacting at all he said nothing and made no expression at all. This was the kind of face he always put on at work, he was a much nicer person when he was outside of work so seeing him in that mood made him think something was on his mind. He looked up when he noticed Seth had walked in and then said with no expression at all.“Are we going home now?” Seth nodded to his question “The doctor will come for you and do a final checkup then we can leave”When the doctor came the questions he asked Cody fell on deaf ears, his mind was far away.“How are you feeling today Mr. Whyte?” He kept asking.“Will I be able to walk again?” He asked suddenly.The doctor sighed so that’s what was keeping him pensive.“Mr. Whyte, we didn’t even think you’d survive it but here you are, I believe you’ll walk again as long you’re religious with your medications and routine check ups” The docto
Nina sat behind a laptop working on some ads to get a caretaker for Cody. When Cody wheeled into the study he was displeased to see Nina there. He hadn’t slept a wink and was in no mood to communicate with anybody. He was about to wheel away when Nina looked up at him.“Good morning Cody, I just put out some ads” she said feeling proud of herself.“What ads?” He asked nonchalantly.“The one to get you a caretaker” she reminded him.“But I have Tia and there are other servants in here what do I need more for?” Cody buzzed.“Cody none of the maids here have expertise in taking care of a person with disability, we need a professional… you’re disabled now and need proper care”Her words struck Cody in the wrong place, when he left the hospital he had asked and had been assured that he’ll walk again. He was hopeful that his pain and fears would end but here Nina sat calling him disabled, like there was no hope for him. Fear began to grip him and so did sorrow.“I hope you don’t misunderst
Meanwhile, back at Golden Springs Cody had left an amount of money in Myra’s account and made her a permanent staff at the C.P. corporation. She had moved in with Tia and Cecil because Cody made her Cecil’s guardian in his will. Tia and Monica dressed Myra up for her graduation Cecil ran around telling Myra how good she looked in her dress.“I wish Mr. Whyte was here to see me graduate,” Myra said as tears welled up in her eyes.“Don’t cry, don’t ruin the special moment Mr. Whyte would want you to smile today” Monica consoled her.“But I miss him… I miss him today more than ever” Myra said fighting back tears.“I miss him too Myra, I cried so much last night, he was like a son to me,” Tia said as a tear dropped down her cheeks Myra hugged her as they cried and consoled each other.“Stop it, ladies! Myra, you’re ruining your makeup!” Monica cautioned them. Cecil ran across the hall shouting “Mama! Uncle Seth is here!” “You see? Now you’re going to be late because you ruined all the m
After Myra gave her account she was allowed to go but Nina was still in police custody. She stepped out of the station and saw Dylan, she walked up to him and exchanged pleasantries with him.“I saw you here yesterday and a few days ago, is Nina your friend?” She asked.Dylan stared at her from head to toe before nodding to her question. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep Nina there any longer, she doesn’t look good” Myra stated.Dylan was surprised by her outburst, how did she know he was there for Nina?“There’s nothing we can do about it, she’s in there for arson” Dylan replied.“I was locked up with her all morning and she told me she was in an asylum once, can’t we use that to help her get out?” Myra said. Dylan’s eyes lit up he didn’t know who Myra was but he was thankful to her. He had no idea Nina had been in an asylum but hearing it now filled him with hope to get Nina out.Eileen stayed in the trailer trying several times to locate Benjy. On the night of the murder, C
Cody’s family swarmed into the investigation room Detective Ruger called for Jamal to bring Nina in. They both came in in a few minutes and sat down, Nina had puffy eyes and so did Mrs. Whyte. She was surprised to see Nina brought in all along she was expecting Myra.“Why is Nina being held in here?” She asked immediately.“She set fire to Cody’s property” Jamal answered.“You? You Nina? You wanted Cody dead?” Mrs. Whyte exclaimed.“Calm down, Cindy” Mr. Whyte patted her on the back.“But I didn’t kill Cody, someone else must have done it and it’s not me” Nina answered crying her eyes out.“Right so I told you about two key witnesses that would help us with this case, I’m bringing one of them in now,” Detective Ruger said and spoke into a small mouthpiece. Soon Dylan came in looking haggard with bloodshot eyes.“Dylan?” Nina exclaimed in shock when she saw him.He looked pitifully at Nina who looked pitifully back at him, he also took a seat in a solemn mood.“The people who killed m
Myra and Tia were in town, Tia had offered to take Myra out to show her around Witting to which the latter readily agreed. Tia really went out of her way to cheer Myra up, she had grown fond of the girl after realizing how innocent she was and how lovely she could be. She really wished Cody hadn’t done what he did to her and this was her way of apologizing to her, when it was getting dark they made their way back to the apartment. Myra they were in the kitchen happily chatting and cooking when Cody came in, no one said a word to him.Myra wasn’t ready to forgive him and Cody didn’t know whether to plead with her or just let her be. In the end, he just joined them in the kitchen trying to get Myra to talk to him.“Myra, do you have lectures anytime soon?” He asked.“Why are you talking to me? I asked you why you were leaving your wife, and you gave me no reply why should we continue talking if you won’t answer my questions don’t ask me questions too” she snapped at him.“Myra, the rea
They had just arrived and they were leaving already Myra was annoyed.“Where are you taking us again Cody?” She demanded a response impatiently.“Myra, calm down we’re going to my other residence then we can talk fully about everything” Cody explained gently.“Why can’t we talk in your house?” Myra inquired angrily.“Because my ex-wife is going there and she’s going to cause a scene if she sees you” Cody explained.Myra fumed angrily “Ex-wife? Cody why didn’t you tell me about all this, she’s not even your ex-wife you liar”Tia reached out and patted Myra on the back since she was seated in the passenger seat behind her.“Myra, can you please calm down for me till we get to our destination?” He pleaded with her.Myra swallowed hard like she had a lump in her throat. She couldn’t believe she had followed Seth all the way to Witting to listen to the explanation of a man who had lied to her. “Myra! What were you thinking?” She asked herself over and over till they got to corn street an
Eileen contacted some of her men to help her get Benjy out of prison. Benjy had broken out of prison before he can do it again with a little push, she thought. At night she sat in an abandoned trailer waiting for Benjy’s escape. This had always been Benjy’s hideout when he had a lot of missions to accomplish so when he finally broke out of jail he headed for the trailer. He was happy when he got to the trailer and Eileen was there waiting for him.“Benjy!” She exclaimed and ran to hug him. He melted in her embrace, it was nice to have Eileen hugging him if only he had been bold enough to tell her how he felt about her, maybe they wouldn’t have been in the mess they were in right now.“Cody is suing me, I thought Rosa’s death would end everything but I was wrong, we were too late he already has all the evidence,” Eileen said.“Is he suing only you or both of us?” Benjy asked.“He sued me, he took advantage of the fact that you were in prison and sued me naming you as my accomplice” E
The phone beeped and Cody answered it. Immediately he did Mr. Story informed him about the death of Rosa.“It happened a few minutes ago but they were able to save the baby girl, guess who was arrested for the shooting?” “Eileen?” Cody asked.“Her bodyguard, I guess you should’ve hurried with your investigations,” he said.“Don’t worry I have all the documents now, the court will summon her, Mr. Story there’s something I need to tell you?” Cody said solemnly.“Go ahead” “I’ve just filed for a divorce from Nina, I’ve thought long and hard about it and I’ve concluded that she doesn’t deserve all I’ve done to her,” Cody said.Mr. Story was silent, he wanted Cody to leave Nina a long time ago but kept his thoughts to himself. Now was not the time to leave Nina, she was having a mental breakdown and he was afraid she would lose it if Cody left her.“Cody, do you think this is the right time? Nina isn’t in her right mind…”“Which is all my fault, the longer I stay with her the more I dam
Alas! Benjy had been able to spot Rosa, she was on her way back from her private antenatal appointment, she was heavily pregnant and dragging herself to a car that had a door opened. Dylan appeared from behind her and rushed to her side then helped her into the car. When the car left he called Eileen.“Guess who I just found… Rosa”“Did you kill her?” Eileen asked immediately she heard Rosa’s name.“That wouldn’t have been possible she was in public and she’s heavily pregnant” Benjy replied.“I don’t care if she’s 80 years pregnant just shoot her and you better do that now” Eileen yelled at him.Without any further thought, he followed the car. Dylan had dropped Rosa at home and was on his way back to the office, the birth of his daughter was a few weeks away and he anticipated the day when he was going to finally hold her in his arms. Meanwhile, Benjy had knocked the security guard out and put on his uniform then made straight for Rosa’s residence. She was looking at some baby clot
A few weeks at the private asylum and Nina had aged, she had refused to eat or sleep and had to be put on medication and a drip. Amaya had cried her eyes out when she saw Nina in that state, now that it was the dawn of her birthday she lay quietly. Thinking back to 5 years ago when she had finally decided to Cody go. The twins, that was the day she found out about their conception, that was the door she went crawling back into a marriage that wasn’t meant to be. She looked at Amaya who sat beside her throughout all the time she was losing it and tried to be there for her. She had cried through the ordeal and even broke down than Nina’s birth parents.“Happy birthday Nina” Amaya whispered.“Thank you… did Cody come?” She asked calmly.Tears welled up in Amaya’s eyes as she shook her head slowly.“But if you relax he might show up” she answered with a forced smile on her face.“How are the twins?” Nina asked again.“They’re doing well at their grandparent's place” Amaya answered. Nina
